With their backs against the wall, Seattle came out firing at home against RSL, scoring an early goal from some inspired connections in the attack. Although they almost immediately gave up a tying goal, Seattle remained on the front foot and eventually scored a second, which was enough to win the game 2-1. This result earned the Sounders a playoff berth for the 8th straight year, starting at home on Thursday. The match also completed an astounding turnaround from the middle of the year for the mighty Sounders – a team many had completely written off.
